Audience
Security, GRC, audit, privacy and AI governance professionals, weighted toward mid career and senior practitioners. People subscribe one email address at a time on the site; we do not buy, rent or import lists, and we do not share subscriber data with sponsors.
The list is new and growing every week. Ask and we will send current subscriber numbers with the sponsor deck.
Ways to sponsor
Issue sponsor
One clearly marked block near the top of a city's Sunday email, between the personal note and the week's listings, with your logo, a few sentences in plain language and a link. One sponsor per issue.
Calendar sponsor
Your logo on the city calendar page and a "Supported by" line above the Sunday email footer, for a month or a season. Good for staying in front of the same readers week after week.
Events and dinners
Better Security events and small roundtables of around twenty invited practitioners on one topic, with a handful of sponsor spots each. Details on request.
What every sponsor gets
- A clear sponsor label, never disguised as editorial.
- Click counts from tracked links, reported per placement after the run.
